High House And Adjoining Stable, Byres And Barn

High House is a farmhouse that includes stables, byres, and a barn, dating back to 1669, as indicated by the inscription over the entrance. The building features a mix of rendered rubble under a graduated greenslate roof with stone chimney stacks. It is two storeys high and consists of two bays, with a two-bay stable on the right under a common roof. To the left is a lower barn and a byre on the right, creating an overall U-shape.

The entrance has a four-panel door within a chamfered surround, topped by a shaped inscribed lintel with a hood mould. The windows are sash style with glazing bars, set in 19th-century stone surrounds, replacing earlier blocked two-light stone-mullioned windows. The stable includes a doorway and a 20th-century casement window, with a loft doorway above and a 17th-century window where the stone mullions have been removed. The byre has a doorway and a loft door above it.

The barn on the left contains part of the original house and features a projecting cart entrance accessed by a ramp, with ground-floor doorways to the left and upper-floor 17th-century windows that have had their stone mullions removed. A lean-to dairy on the left has an open bellcote. The outshuts at the rear of the house have 17th-century windows with the mullions removed. Inside the house, there is a segmental stone-arched inglenook and beamed ceilings on the ground floor. Additional barn extensions are not of interest. The property was derelict and unoccupied at the time of the survey.
